Since 2004, each Almanack contains details of all the international cricket played in the previous calendar year - so the 2006-07 Champions Trophy, which took place towards the end of 2006, appears in Wisden 2007. Until 2003 the Almanack covered the cricket played in the previous year's English summer, and the overseas season that preceded it - so, for example, the 2002 Wisden covers the cricket played in England in 2001 and overseas in 2000-01.
